Talk:Christian realism

Christian realism as "political" is much too narrow
This article can be greatly improved, and be perceived with much more respect, integrity and authority, if Christian realism is described as having multiple meanings, not just "political theology". Even the Wikipedia article on Reinhold Niebuhr describes Christian realism as a "philosophical perspective" and not "political theology." Furthermore, a great writer like Flannery O'Connor described her fiction as Christian realism -- the point being is that she had NO political intentions whatsoever.

I would suggest that Christian realism be characterized as a philosophical perspective that is based on some distinctive philosophical and theological principles (though with some important variations), and the perspective is applied in realms of economics, politics, government, as well as in the arts, literature, science, philosophy, and theology (though applied with significant variations). I know such an article is much more difficult to write, but Christian realism is what it is. 2601:140:8980:4B20:CE9:4AFA:58C:9379 (talk) 04:04, 7 April 2021 (UTC)

Oxymoron
How can christian realism exist? As soon as one is part of the christian belief system one is no longer a realist. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Scifilosophy (talk • contribs) 22:09, 23 May 2010 (UTC)


 * Okay, very good. We all see that you are able to make snarky comments about things you don't understand.  Maybe you should try being helpful, instead. Delrayva (talk) 02:32, 25 May 2010 (UTC)
